Extending HDLs – 2
nChallenges
•HDLs don’t provide effective design reuse
•By the time the system is specified in an HDL it becomes too implementation specific (i.e. specified at the gate level, established architecture) to work it in another design
nResults:
•Much of similar work has been abandoned
•It is widely accepted that HDLs cannot effectively be expanded to cover the full range of required SLD capabilities, since systems are mostly sw
